Bengaluru: Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar has written to all Deputy Commissioners to vaccinate officers, teachers and staff who are on SSLC exam duty, on priority.

He said DDPIs of all districts will give the list of the personnel on the examination duty and they must be given vaccination before the commencement of the annual examination. 

This time, there will be around 6,000 examination centres as only 12 students will be allowed in each classroom with one candidate per desk. So, the number of staff for the examination duty will be more. In view of this, they must be given vaccination on priority, he added.
